Friday--Yard Sales and Lunch

I cannot believe how cool and cloudy this month has been. Today was no exception. I realize I will be wishing for these temperatures in a very short time (we expect to be home in a week), but it is still cold!
We started with some yard sales in Crescent City, nothing good. One lady was clearing out because she was moving back to Arizona--Page--apparently there is a teacher shortage there.

We headed to Brookings and found two sales. The area is known as the Banana Belt for its usually warmer than other coastal town temperatures--not today though!

This was the second one--an estate sale. Cary bought a mug and I found three patterns. Cheap thrills!

To get to the first sale we had to cross this wooden bridge! It is about 20 feet above the river. I took this on our way out.

The trees were yellow on top, hard to see in the photo.


Back at the trailer I cut out 11 strips of fabric, 6" x 42" with the hope that one day I will actually cut out all the squares for the crescent shapes that I need to start sewing on a purse pattern I have had a few years!


We are off again tomorrow: Farmers' Market, a few yard sales and probably Walmart. I am hoping for sunshine!


We had lunch at Pancho's, went to the quilt store (they had a nice chair, an electric fireplace and some magazines for Cary), Fred Myers for fuel. By the time we got home, the sun still was playing peek-a-boo with us.
